Blizzard Blademaster is a difficult boss to fight in Phantom Blade Zero because of his quick attacks and freezing powers. He can make the player get the chill effect even when the player tries to block him, making the fight hard to defend against. However, selecting the right weapons, using Green Serpent Brew, and dodging and attacking at the right time can make this fight easy. In this guide, we will show you the best equipment and strategies to defeat the Blizzard Blademaster.
Best Weapons and Accessories
Third Blade Master happens to be one of the most challenging bosses you will have to defeat in the game Phantom Blade Zero. The boss attacks continuously, freezes you at random intervals, and employs unpredictable attack sequences. Some of the boss’s attacks might even cause Chill when you are defending. Nonetheless, with the correct gear and tactics, the boss can be defeated easily.
The weapon of choice for this battle should be Blazing Edge. The weapon can be obtained by soul-sealing the Two-Handed Sanguin Sword. Upgrading it to its highest level is highly recommended due to its high-damage capability. The attacks from this weapon gradually accumulate Burning Energy until the meter is full, making the sword burst into flames.
Take Sunderflame as well since it deals tons of damage. It has some very nice passives. As for your Phantom Edge, Flaming Mane is one more great weapon since it does quite a bit of damage. Regarding accessories, everything depends on your choice, but there is something that you should definitely consider buying: Green Serpent Brew.
Green Serpent Brew can be bought after the defeat of the Divine Healer in Pangzen. You will need to go to the NPC at Green Serpent House to buy this medicine. This medicine takes off all debuffs, gives you +80% status resistance for 25 seconds and heals HP. You will need to max out this item before the fight.
How to Defeat the Third Blade Master
When the battle begins, use Flaming Mane to deal quick damage, using all of its charges every time for an early-game advantage. One of the key things to know is that relying solely on blocking is not recommended. Every time the boss hits you, there will be more Chill explosions created, which means you need to mix your blocks and dodges in order to minimise damage taken. Look for any opportunities to attack when the boss makes his red attacks. It gives you a chance to deal several hits. Pay attention to your Sachi gauge and change weapons each time it runs out.
Finally, there is one very dangerous overhead attack that he does three times consecutively. Getting hit by this attack freezes you instantly and leaves you vulnerable to another hit. It is better to move back and avoid getting close to him until this combo finishes.
If you find that your health begins to go down, make sure you take some time and heal up before coming back into the fight. Also, do not hurry your attacks since at certain times, the boss will start to chain attack moves. The next attack sequence you should be aware of is when he uses his blue overhead attack. Normally, after this attack, he will use a red attack move, which means you need to be prepared to avoid the second attack.
The most important strategy in this battle is to always use Green Serpent Brew during the fight. This skill helps a lot in resisting the freezing skills that the boss will use during the fight. When he breaks his guard, use Blazing Edge and hit him with all your power. Make sure to follow these strategies and take care of his Chill explosions.
